I voted for the person 'more' likely to do that... although not nearly the right person to really get us there. Obama was the LEAST likely candidate to get us there.

Um, no. You didn't. We've already been down this road. You opted for choice 1b instead of choice 1a. You voted more against Obama than you did for a candidate. Don't claim to have done something you didn't do.

Lance I doubt you could ever give credit to Obama. Bush didn't get Bin Laden. Obama did

Saudis were responsible for 9-11 not Iraqis

Exactly and 0 is Saudi. How did we get a Saudi as a President only 7 years after 9-11?

Last but not least Obama is a Christian and so is his family.

Sorry mate. This is the facade he projects but the proof is there. He is definitely a muslum who went to a radical black anti-American church for 20 years with his extremely good friend; Jerimiah Wright.

Bob your comments are so far out there I imagine you as digging yourself a bomb shelter, stocking it with guns, ammo and twinkies

Bomb shelters and Twinkies are so passe'. The guns and ammo is a good idea though.

BTW Bbob Obama won by a huge margin in the electoral vote even taking FL. Although you guys did manage to suppress a lot if votes in FL O still won. Miss the good ol days where Harris could pull one out for your team

Yeah, thanks for pointing out that huge discrepancy between the popular vote and the electoral vote. It only reenforces the need to abolish the electoral college voting for the President.

Breaking News:PolitiFact R.I. rules claim about felons voting in Rhode Island True
In a segment billed as "Outrage of the Week," Medeiros cited the fact that 3,001 felons on probation or parole had been allowed to vote in Rhode Island during the 2008 election, and she said that a larger but unknown number had probably voted in this month's election.

Holy time warp batman!!! LOL
Sorry but your artificial scare tactics don't really work on those who actually READ the referenced articles. See below for the ACTUAL details and PLEASE, PLEASE stop listening to those idiots on "artificial NEWS sites" that are trying to fabricate something to SCARE people with...

So, by inference an anomaly in 2008 is (politically) linked to THIS YEARS election some 4 years later? REALLY? Those Fox News idiots will dig up anything they can even if it's not applicable to the current environment....Oh, and by the way...There was nothing illegal in them voting. If it outrages you AND you live in Rhode Island, take action. If you don't then...you really have NO INFLUENCE on that particular state law.

If you are OUTRAGED by the FACT that "Whether allowing felons to vote is an "outrage" is a matter of opinion....The 2008 election cycle was [the] first in which RI felons on probation/parole could vote since [the] 19th century....Medeiros accurately cited the OpenDoors number. But where did the number come from? First, a little background.

In 2006, OpenDoors -- then known as the Family Life Center -- was one of a number of organizations that pushed for a referendum to change the state Constitution to make it easier for convicted felons to become eligible to vote.

Under state law at the time, felons couldn’t register to vote until they had finished not only their prison terms but any probation or parole as well.

The referendum question asked voters to amend the Constitution to allow felons to register to vote after their release from incarceration, regardless of how long they might be on probation or parole.

Supporters said that would help released inmates feel more connected to the law-abiding community and help reduce the odds of them committing new crimes. Opponents argued that those who committed serious crimes had to earn the right to vote by completing their whole sentence, including probation or parole."

Um, no. You didn't. We've already been down this road. You opted for choice 1b instead of choice 1a. You voted more against Obama than you did for a candidate. Don't claim to have done something you didn't do.

Some of us did a LOT by NOT voting for Obama. Those of you who could vote for such an anti-American candidate are enemies to this Republic.

Lance I doubt you could ever give credit to Obama. Bush didn't get Bin Laden. Obama did

There you go again Az, you are so funny.

"Although you guys did manage to suppress a lot of votes in FL",

Obama/Holder sue the states that try to have fair elections... very American of them... oh my God, require people to have ID's... they, and you, know, or should that 99.999% of U.S. Citizens that vote have ID, duh... we know who doesn't have them, the people who aren't allowed to vote but do, and did, for Obama.

I'd say wake up but you can't, your head is too far up Obama's ass to see.

With the nations population being over 300 million it will hardly be feasible to have a government much smaller. Unfunded wars and trillion dollar bailouts of unregulated banks and wallstreet will certainly make one's taxes go up. Not to mention taxation is actually at a lower margin at this time in our history. Unemployment is coming down steadily and the housing crisis is starting to stabilize.
The constitution has a thing called admendments like this one that was not in the orginal document. The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution outlaws slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. The founders realized that things would slowly change and understood the need for measured progression. Be to rigid and you start losing elections.
Times are changing. We cannot go back to no regulation and the old west. The big boys have proven if not watched closely things will tank. They cannot help themselves. I do agree that government is certainly not the answer for everything. The thing for me is I could have never trusted a venture capitalist with the reigns. Just a personal preference.

But you trust a socialist/communist with the reigns, interesting. Of course gov't can't be cut back, in fact it needs to be bigger, and bigger, and more and more and more expensive... and the only thing we can ever do to fix our financial mess is to add more regulation on the rich and raise taxes...

Wow, you've really got this all thought out... including your "The Constitution is old and dusty" mentality...

You've voted for big gov't to take care of and regulate everything for you, wait until they jump into something in your life that matters to you and tell you what you can and can't do...

You never factored "Freedom" into your globalist socialist model apparently... you're on the road to losing it.

I also enjoyed your little boy comment about less regulation... in your world view cutting burdensome/expensive regulation means "Remove all regulations", call the place 'Dodge City' and grab a six-gun... you certainly took full advantage of the progressive agenda brainwashing during your school years, they got you fully indoctrinated.

Some people on this forum have extremely short memories.
I proudly stand by my president. We are going in the right direction after almost falling off the cliff in 2007-2008. The country has spoken so it's time to drop the schtick and be an american instead of hate, fear mongering goofballs.
We have had a capitalist socialist society for some time and thank god we do. It's the perfect blend as history can attest that neither will work long term in a pure form. Lets not wish for planes to crash or hold out hope for the next Trump gimmick to be substantial. Barry is the president so it's time to step up and show support.
And yes I work, pay taxes and have served my country.

P.S. Is that your photo in your Avatar, it suits you... the "What the hell happened" look you might have during the next four years.

P.S. And yes, that's a photo of me in my Avatar, I'm a 'dandy' from San Francisco.
